Research Groups

  • HLA-NET

    HLA-NET is an European network of the HLA diversity for histocompatibility, clinical transplantation, epidemiology and population genetics. The HLA-NET provides an innovative framework to examine the standardisation of clinical work, ethical issues, population genetics, biostatistics and computer science applications to define common procedures and share high quality data and tools.

  • Society for Immune Polymorphism

    The Society for Immune Polymorphism is an international membership organization of scientists dedicated to understanding the genetic and functional variation of the immune system, and the immune system’s role in evolutionary biology, disease and health.

  • Eurotransplant Reference Laboratory

    Eurotransplant was founded in 1967 in Leiden, the Netherlands The Eurotransplant Reference Laboratory (ETRL) was founded shortly after the central registry was established. The aim of the ETRL is to increase the reliability of transplantation-related histocompatibility testing, including HLA typing, crossmatching, and screening for HLA specific antibodies in the patients' sera.
